Synopsis
Based on a true story from the author's family history, Jarrettsville begins in 1869, just after Martha Jane Cairnes has shot and killed her fianc , Nicholas McComas, in front of his Union cavalry militia as they were celebrating the anniversary of the Confederate surrender at Appomattox. To find out why she murdered him, the story steps back to 1865, six days after the surrender, when President Lincoln has just been killed by John Wilkes Booth. Booth belongs to the same Rebel militia as Martha's hot-headed brother Richard, who has gone missing along with Booth. Martha is loyal to her brother but in love with Nicholas McComas, a local hero of the Union cause, and their affair is fraught with echoes of the bloody conflict just ended. The story is set in Northern Maryland, six miles below the Mason-Dixon line, where brothers literally fought on opposing sides, and former slave-owners live next door to abolitionists and freed men. Such tension proves key to Martha's motives in killing the man she loves, and why -- astonishingly -- she is soon acquitted by a jury of her peers, despite more than fifty eyewitnesses to the crime., Based on a true story from the author's family history, Jarrettsville begins in 1869, just after Martha Jane Cairnes has shot and killed her fiancé, Nicholas McComas, in front of his Union cavalry militia as they were celebrating the anniversary of the Confederate surrender at Appomattox.

Such tension proves key to Martha's motives in killing the man she loves, and why -- astonishingly -- she is soon acquitted by a jury of her peers, despite more than fifty eyewitnesses to the crime., A novel of crime and passion in post-Civil War Maryland, based on a true story, from a "wonderfully talented" author (Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times ). Winner of the Michael Shaara Prize for Excellence in Civil War Fiction Based on true events from the author's family history, Jarrettsville begins in 1869. Martha Jane Cairnes has just shot and killed her fiance, Nicholas McComas, in front of his Union cavalry militia as they were celebrating the anniversary of the Confederate surrender at Appomattox.

Martha is loyal to her brother, but in love with Nicholas McComas, a local hero of the Union cause--and their affair is fraught with echoes of the bloody conflict just ended. Set six miles below the Mason-Dixon line, in a time when brothers fought on opposing sides and former slave-owners lived next door to abolitionists and freedmen, this is a compelling story rich with passion and tragedy, history and suspense.

- v***v (2086)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
